Lopsided baseball score

[Da Coach]

Did anyone know the US had a 12U national baseball team, or that there was such a thing as a U-12 World Cup of Baseball?
Yesterday in Taiwan, the US team won their opening game in the U-12 World Cup of Baseball 43-1 over the team from New Zealand.

After winning their first game over New Zealand 43-1 on Friday (7/28 ), the U12 USA team needed a late rally to beat Panama 6-4 on Saturday (7/29). They were off Sunday (7/30), but then played a very good Dominican Republic team today (7/31), and were defeated 13-9.
